This Magic Life Podcast

Bonnie Lippincott, aka an entry level mom

This Magic Life is the companion podcast to Bonnie Lippincott’s book This Magic Life (Coming Q2 2026). This is a space for exploring the unseen forces shaping our lives: intuition, creativity, motherhood, work, and the invisible thread that connects every living being. Originally, I imagined this next chapter as Mid-Level Manager Mom (following Entry Level Mom), with an eventual CEO-Level Mom. But after stepping away from corporate America, the idea of “leveling up” in motherhood no longer fit. This podcast reflects that shift — from titles and ladders to alignment, presence, and living with intention. Through solo reflections and intimate conversations, This Magic Life invites listeners to reframe success, trust themselves, and recognize the quiet magic woven into everyday life.

    This Magic Life #151: Maternal Healthcare after Roe V Wade was overturned with Lauren Miller

    Send us Fan Mail *Trigger Warning In this powerful conversation, Bonnie Lippincott speaks with Lauren Miller of @dontmesswithtexas about what happens when politicians try to control decisions that belong between patients and doctors. Lauren shares her deeply personal story of navigating a twin pregnancy, a devastating fetal diagnosis, and the impossible barriers to receiving timely maternal medical care in Texas. What unfolds is a candid look at how abortion bans don’t just affect abortion access — they also shape miscarriage care, maternal health, emergency decision-making, and the everyday realities of families trying to survive difficult pregnancies. Lauren explains why “pregnancy is too complicated to legislate,” how a single medical procedure can become a multi-day, cross-state ordeal, and why national protections for reproductive healthcare matter. This episode also explores the power of speaking up, building community through shared trauma, and refusing to let extremism define the future of a state full of people who want better. Honest, urgent, and deeply human, this is a conversation about bodily autonomy, medical care, and the courage it takes to fight for both.
